(ECKS walks into the living room with the tree and picks the most open corner to set it in.)
ECKS: "Honey, I'm home."

(A few moments later, Liz and Anna come into the room. The girls put down the boxes they were carrying.)
Liz: Oh Chris! Es ist perfect! Ich liebe es.

Ana: "She's not kidding, it's beautiful."
ECKS: "I told ya. He made me a deal, too. Only had to pay $50 for the tree."
(He looks around sheepishly then changes the subject to avoid suspiscion.)
ECKS: "So what did you guys find?"

(She smiles and her signature fang pushes out to show itself.)

ECKS: "Sounds good ta me, it's pretty tall but you seem have the telekinesis down so gettin' that star on top shouldn't be a problem. Let's get this started so we surprise everyone else."
Ana: "You're really enjoying this aren't you?"
ECKS: "Well, Xavier was always big on Christmas, so I feel like I'm doin' this in part for him and for the rest of the students, too."
Ana: "I understand, well we can start stringing the lights across. I supposed Liz can start floating ornaments onto the tree, then we'll let her float the star up to the top."
(ECKS and Ana start unrolling the lights, straightening them out, and wrapping them around the tree.)

(Liz held the tree steady as Chris and Anna strung the lights on and then she used her telekineses to hang the ornaments up. She tried to get them spaced as evenly as possible so that no one place had too many or too few decorations. She then turned her attention to the star. She gently floated it up and placed it on the top, making the electric plugs connect with the telekineses as well. She took a step back to admire it.)
Liz: Es looks gute. Chris. Plug her in.

(ECKS walks over and grabs the plug, he starts to indsert, then stops and looks back.)
ECKS: "If I start glowin', you guys know the number ta 9-1-1, right?"
Ana: (chuckling)"Oh, stop. Just plug it in already."
ECKS: "Ok, ok. Here goes nothin'."
(ECKS plugs in the lights and steps back as they light up the room, flashing and blinking all over the place. The white light from the star really showed at the top. The three stood together in silence as they admired their work.)

(Liz turns as she hears Christina enter the room.)
Liz: Ja. Es does. Hey! I can sing Silent Night in German.
(She opens her mouth and sings in a soft soprano voice.)
Liz:Stille Nacht, heilige Nacht, alles schläft; einsam wacht Nur das traute hochheilige Paar. Holder Knabe im lockigen Haar, Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh. Schlaf in himmlischer Ruh.

Christina: Wow. That was good. The only foreign language Christmas theme I can handle is Feliz Navidad.

ECKS: "I don't even know that one. Not a lot of time for Christmas carols when you're spendin' yer days in an old military base bein' trained to be some kind of ultimate weapon. Or any other holidays for that matter."
Ana: "As tempting as it is, hon, let's not reminisce. Let's just enjoy this perfect moment in our new home, with our new family."
ECKS: "Sounds like a winner ta me."

(Kitty walks into the living room to see Chris, Ana, Liz and Christina all admiring the Christmas tree.)
Shadowcat: Well, Happy Holidays everyone! I was thinking of heading out to town for a while. Anyone want to come?

Ana: "I'm in. I need to make a run to town anyway. I have a few things I need to pick up. Just let me grab a jacket and I'll meet you at the car."
(She leaves the room and heads upstairs.)
